Susan Bennett, the first voice of Siri, stops by the Cafe to tell her story on landing one of the coolest gigs a voice actor can! Plus, Bish the barista and Jordan the busboy stop by Trish and Terry’s table to chat about everything VO and non-VO related. Opinions abound on: the current state and future of ISDN, ipDTL and its new competition from Skype and Source-Connect Now, the recent influx of voice over seminars/conferences, the REAL incentive behind blogging, and much more.

After a 3 month hiatus, it’s Terry, Trish and Bish chatting VO. We talk about IPDTL; a rapidly growing ISDN alternative, Facebook business page etiquette and posting strategies, agencies that charge a monthly “subscription” fee on top of commission, and more!

Our next episode will surely have a guest! On deck: Jon Bailey Crumpton, creator of Honest Trailers!

This week we talk about Halloween, joining Meetup groups for networking purposes, and finding voice over clients while traveling by plane! Also, a very funny Totally True Tale from Tom Dheere, and legal advice from lawyer and Voice Over Legal author, Rob Sciglimpaglia.

Terry and Trish also ask the burning questions voice talent want to know! Our guest is Ingrid French from Ingrid French Management in New York City…..a talent manager with over 15 years experience!

Johnny provides some great insight into the audiobook genre of voiceover. Plus Bish sits down with Terry and Trish for a chat about the online VO conference “Voice Over Virtual” starting on September 18th!

Erik is the agent/ founder of Voice Talent Productions in NYC! He (rather candidly) explains the do’s and don’ts of getting, impressing, and keeping an agent. Plus….Terry shares a funny client voicemail, and Trish shares a rather creepy voice captured on tape……plus appearances from Bish the Barista, Tom Dheere with another T-squared, and Rob Sciglimpaglia with the Legal Minute.

It’s been 6 years since John’s joined us on the show (see old “VOD” Episode 3) and he caught us up on a LOT! Voice Over Virtual, a new kind of VO conference, is coming in September and John gives us all the details. VoiceoverXtra.com, a great FREE VO resource and one of this podcast’s proud sponsors, is run by John and his team. Also, learn what REALLY bugs Trish.

Voice Talent Dan McKeague shares his story with Terry and Trish on winning this nationally publicized commercial role for the Aflac duck. Terry finds something interesting in his lava lamp. Also Totally True Tales with Tom, Legal Minute with Rob, and more!

On this episode of The Voice Over Cafe, Terry and Trish chat with fellow “VO Super Social” Dave Courvoisier (a.k.a CourVO) and get the scoop on the recent SAVOA meltdown and the emerging World-Voices organization!

The Voice Over Cafe brings you the latest news from the voiceover industry! Full-time voice talentsTerry Daniel and Trish Basanyi host this fun and informative show, bringing on a guest and features for every episode. Join us for “The Legal Minute” with VO artist and lawyer Rob Sciglimpaglia, The Voice Over Cafe Mailbag, and who knows what else! Average running time, 30 minutes.”

A few years back, Trish Basanyi and I recorded twenty episodes of “Voice Overs on Demand”, a podcast that quickly earned a steady following of voice over pros and students. We interviewed guests like Joe Cipriano, Randy Thomas and Rodney Saulsberry, just to name a few. We were very candid the way we went out about our business on this show. We kept it educational but didn’t take ourselves too seriously because we wanted it to be a fun show.

This year, we are launching a brand new podcast that will begin where “VOD” left off. It’s called, “The Voice Over Cafe.” We decided on this title because we were looking for that laid back coffee shop vibe. Like coming to a coffee shop, relaxing and engaging in some good conversation.

The new show will feature some entertaining segments. Rob Sciglimpaglia, an attorney, film/tv/theater and voice actor based in the NYC area will be a regular on the program. He will be doing “The Legal Minute”, a segment in which Rob will offer up some tips for voice talents and their business. For example, contracts, incorporating your business and more! Rob’s latest role was playing a young father on the famous Chevy Super Bowl commercial, Happy Grad! His new book, Voice Over Legal, will be released soon.

“The Cafe Mailbag” is a feature we’re bringing over from the old podcast. The segment will feature both of us taking questions from listeners about the voiceover industry. I suppose if someone wants to know our favorite 80′s bands, we’ll be glad to cover that as well!

“The Random Skype Call” will be an entertaining feature. This is a segment where we’ll find another voice talent who is currently logged in on skype and just call them with no prior warning and ask them a few questions. Perhaps they can provide some insight into the industry as well. Beware all you voice talents who are linked up with us on Skype!
